presence of a few close relatives and
friends. The ceremony was perform
ed by Dr. E. C McDougle in a beau
tiful and impressive manner. The

carnations, palms and ferns. The
bride is the only child of Mr. and
Mrs. W. F. Higgins and possesses all
those rare and charming graces of
character which endears her to each
and all with whom she comes in con
tact. She never looked lovelier than
when she stood in the presence of her
relatives and friends and was married
to the man of her choice.
The groom is a young man of ster

MAYOR'S VETO.
Richmond, Ky., April 14, 1917.
W. E. Blanton, City Clerk,
Richmond, Ky.
Sir:
Under Section 3503, Ky. Statutes, I
hereby return to you without my ap
proval, the Ordinance passed by the
Board of Council at the regular meet
ing held April 5, 1917, placing
License Tax of $50.00 per year on
laundries doing business in this city,
I am clearly of the opinion that the
people of Richmond should have the
privilege of having their work done
as cheaply as possible and wherever
they choose, as competition is the life
of trade. I am also of the opinion
that this tax would be class legisla
tion and tend to build up a monopoly.
For these reasons I hereby veto said
ordinance.
(Signed) Saml Rice, Mayor.

Spoke to Good Crowd
Thos. H. Collins, of Madison coun
ty, spoke here to a good crowd Mon
day afternoon on "Farming and the
Importance of County Farm Agents.'
He made a capital talk and told of
the many advantages to be derived
from having a man in the county to
demonstrate farming in a" practical
and up-to-date way a man who had
.studied the subject and given much
time to the practice. The Federal
government pays half the salary of
the county farm agent and the
counties that have them pay the other
half. An experienced farm agent
commands a salary of $1,600 to $1-
1 800. Mr. Collins gave reasons why i.'
county could afford to be without one
and seems to have impressed his
hearers that he was right. The fol
lowing committee was appointed to
present a petition to the farmers of
Lincoln county and then to the fiscal
court for an allowance of $900 a year
for a county agent: Messrs. W. P.
Grimes, W. P. Givens and W. O. Wal
ker. Stanford Interior Journal.

Chalmers 7-Passenger Touring Car Price $1350 Detroit
Chalmers Sets New Mark
In Flexibility and Economy
peed is a matter of state and city laws not of motors. Why, then, pay for
racing or semi-racing machines which fret and fume at legal limits? Why
is not the car of wide flexibility and moderate top speed the sensible car to buy?
In Chicago, during the 24 hours from noon March 26 to noon March 27 a
Chalmers 7-passenger stock touring car set a new mark for flexibility and
economy. It traversed the dense "loop" traffic of Chicago, using high gear
only, without stop of motor, attained a total of 586.8 miles and reeled off 14
miles to every gallon of gas. The Contest Board of the A. A. A. certifies to
these facts.
Here is a car capable of highest
cane speed. That operated perfect
ly on high gear even from a stand
ing start at a traffic officer's signal.
That ran like a watch for 24 hours
and could have run an indefinitely
longer time. That made the start
lingly economical figure of 14 miles
to the gallon of gas. That was in
as perfect condition at the end of
this grind as at the beginning. Had
there been hills to climb it would
have shown equal capacity there.
And this car can be bought for
a price several hundred dollars
less than others that have shown
no such flexibility or city economy.
Would you care for such a car? You can have its twin
brother. You are invited to call and ride in the car.
